In December 2007 Christies in London held the auction Old Master and British Pictures, which included the work A Church Interior With Elegant Company In The Nave And Aisle by Pieter Neefs the Elder. The »bidding war« ended at GBP 24,500.00 (€ 33,291.34), 23% above the upper estimate. However, buyers have had to dig much deeper into their pockets for other works by Pieter Neefs the Elder - we have observed the highest auction result to date for the work Vue De L'Intérieur De La Cathédrale Notre-Dame D'Anvers, which sold at auction in December 2009 for EUR 87,282.00.
Oberer Schätzpreis leicht übertroffen
Im Dezember 2007 führte Christies in London die Auktion Old Master and British Pictures durch, in der auch die Arbeit A Church Interior With Elegant Company In The Nave And Aisle von Pieter Neefs the Elder zur Versteigerung kam. Das »Bietergefecht« endete beim Preis von GBP 24.500,00 (€ 33.291,34) und damit 23% über dem oberen Schätzpreis. Für andere Arbeiten von Pieter Neefs the Elder mussten die Käufer allerdings auch schon deutlich tiefer in die Tasche greifen – das bisher höchste Auktionsergebnis haben wir für die Arbeit Vue De L'Intérieur De La Cathédrale Notre-Dame D'Anvers beobachtet, die im Dezember 2009 für EUR 87.282,00 versteigert wurde.
